The Democratic Women of Johnson County held their regular monthly meeting and Christmas Brunch on December 8, 2007 at the Mountain City/Johnson County Community Center at 10:00 am. The meeting of fifteen attending members was called to order by outgoing president Evelyn Cook. By executive decision, the regular order was suspended for this meeting. Evelyn Cook asked everyone to give their money to Bobbie Smith today so we can help our family adopted for Christmas 2008 with presents. President Cook gave some opening remarks about the vision of the Democratic women and the progress the organization has made over the past year. She also reminded us that 2008 is a presidential election year, and we have much work to do until the November 2008 election. Wanda Payne, incoming president for 2008, then presented framed certificates of appreciation to Evelyn Cook, president for 2007, and Helen McQueen, vice president for 2006-2007. President Cook asked officers for 2008 to come forward. The incoming officers were asked if they would uphold the principles of the Democratic Party and the Democratic Women of Johnson County. After they answered yes, they were inducted as officers for the year 2008. The new officers are Wanda Payne, President; Judy Walsh, Vice President; Katherine Hegemann, Secretary; Carole Maulden, Treasurer; and Romayne St. John, Parliamentarian. After the induction of the 2008 officers, the group socialized and enjoyed a varied and delicious brunch. The meeting adjourned at 11:30 am. The Democratic Women of Johnson County wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
